Increases Safety
More often than not, step lighting is referred to as a real form of safety lighting. This is due to the fact that step lighting’s primary function is to guide a person safely down steps while highlighting a safe path at the same time. If you can’t see where you’re walking at night, particularly on uneven or treacherous ground, this can lead to nasty falls and even potentially serious injuries. This is especially true for the elderly, who frequently find it difficult to see in the dark. It’s important for everyone, though. It illuminates the area in front of the steps, warning walkers about debris and landscape features, as well as alerting company to watch their step as they climb your porch steps.
Free Lighting Design Consultation
We offer a free design consultation to our clients. We will first listen to your ideas of what you would like in your lighting portrait. We will ask:
- What are your main vantage points? (Where do you see the yard from?)
- Are there certain paths or steps you would like to navigate at night?
- What elements are most important to you in your landscape?
We will discuss the perspectives from which you see the yard and how you use the space. We will discuss various landscape lighting design concepts.
We should have a brief discussion about your budget.
We will then take panoramic photos and use these, in conjunction with our notes from our conversations to create a design that will best meet your needs. Depending on the size and scope of your project, design times can vary
We will provide you with a detailed proposal covering the specific areas illuminated and equipment included with a specific price. I’ll also bring my spreadsheet so we can use it together to fine tune the proposal to best meet your needs.
